+Angelo Stevens Oh yes, he was that rich. There is no source stating how many billions of dollars he would have today, but that's only because he's that rich. After all, it has been estimated how much Augustus Caesar and William the Conqueror had in dollars. (4.3 billion to Caesar and 209 billion to William according to 2 historians that wrote for the Times.)

When mention is made of Mansa Musa's wealth, people generally think of the gold only. Only a few also think of the salt which was almost as important as the gold. Even fewer people think of the books of Timbuktu, Djene, etc. Books also consisted of a huge wealth! People bought books a lot. Also, we must not forget that Mansa Musa controlled most of West Africa and its resources. So, the bronze, copper, silver etc. were also his. In addition, there were many livestock (dromadaries / Camels, horses, donkey, cows, sheep, goats, chiken, Guinea fowls, etc. It would be very difficult to know the exact extent of Musa's wealth. Before industrial mining came, traditional gold mining has always brought tons of gold to Mali. Even today, traditional gold mining alone amounts to any amount between 4 and 15 tons of gold for present day Mali alone. Combined with industrial mining, it amounts to about 70 tons on an annual basis now. Mansa Musa's gold minies did not include only those on the present day territory of Mali. Mansa Musa's Mali included southern Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Ginea Conakry, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Niger. Some of the traditional gold mining cites are on the territories of Mauritania, Senegal and Guinea Conakry today. It must be also remembered that the decision to make mining output the property of king predates Mansa Musa for centuries. By the end of the 600s, the King of Ouagadou was Kayamakan Cissé. It is he who decreted that all gold and other minerals belonged to the King. He amassed a lot of gold, levied and trained a huge and professional army and invaded the other surrounding kingdoms, which included Mali, Sosso, Thakrur, Audagost. He then declared himself Ghana, meaning the conqueror. As he united all the kingdoms into one big empire, people started calling it the empire of Ghana. When Sundiata became King of Mali by 1235, Ghana had shrunk back to the Kingdom of Ouagadou, which covers areas of southern Mauritania, Mali and Senegal today. The capital city of Ouagadou was Kumbi Saleh. It is on the territory of present day Mauritania. Sundiata also conquered back all the territory of the Ghana empire and added many new territories to make the Mali empire. The tradion of declaring the King as owner of the mines and mining output continued.

This is why most antient superpowers (Egypt, China, India, Persia, Mali, etc.) never cared about it. And Europe could barely afford it, since plagues, unfavorable earth and numerous conflics hold Europe back. But the myth of gold and spices motivated European monarchs to invest into oversea missions. The profit of these oversea missions made economists overtake the nobility in terms of power and riches. Also, crops from the New World improved European harvests. These were two necessary step for inudstrialization, in my opinion.

The thing that bothers me is that most of us know who mansa musa was, but we do not have that same recognition with his older brother Muhammad keita, for those who don’t know, Muhammad was musa’s older brother, who was mansa after him, Muhammad Keita is legendary since he wanted to know what lay behind the vast Atlantic Ocean, so he prepared a fleet of 200 ships which had people with different talents, and they also brought food rations that would last for 2 years, however, only one ship and its captain came back, the captain told Muhammad that the other ships were sunk by a powerful current, so he turned around and went home, but the brave king, still eager to discover the new world, prepared a second fleet, this one having 1000 boats, each with a set of captains, generals, craftspeople, artists, sculptors, merchants, scholars, and religious leaders, and most importantly, the king himself would go, in a massive boat where a throne was created for him, and each boat would carry a massive amount of gold, salt, and copper, before this voyage, muhammad made musa the regnant until he came back, and so, the king set sail, ready to discover whatever he would find. Never to be seen again.

dadondutta well schools can't really teach everything. You wouldn't learn anything from this either which is why we don't learn about every billionaire that has ever lived. Also schools leave a lot of history out simply because they can't focus on every single thing that happened on each country around the world. Your school might have been terrible or you just skipped a whole week of school because I remember this from 7th grade and I'm in college now.

Crazy thing is many sources say that Mali is the largest producer of gold and had nearly 50%-60% of the total circulation supply of gold at that time, to add on supplying 90% of salt produced, meaning to say if Mansa Musa decides/declare to take 10% of Mali's economic wealth/resources he could buy the ENTIRE USA stock Market(NYSE/NASDAQ) and paid off Americas debt(Adjusted with todays inflation rate) Of course it is very hard to determine the accuracy, almost all of the records in Mansa Musa's Library have been burned down by other empires/colonisers, after Mansa Musa's death, Colonisers took control of Mali's resources , fast foward today most of the worlds gold are held in european/western countries federal banks/reserves....A shift of POWER and WEALTH

The king of Mali is so rich he's going on tour to let everyone know. "Wow, that guy's rich", everyone said.

Angelo Stevens You made the point that the miners were slaves when they clearly were not. So you just made that up. I recommend you read Mansu Musa and the Mali Empire if you want to actually read the truth. Slavery is part of almost every Ancient or middle age civilisation. So if you have a problem with the Mali Empire you must also have a problem with Rome and every European civilisation. Second point slavery wasn't always the same in every civilisation. Not to condone it but many African civilisations slavery was similar to indentured servitude. It had a period and you had laws on how to treat your slaves. So if you are compering it as I presume to slavery in the new world it probably was likely better. The fact that it is mainly white supremacists bringing this up yet I bet you don't go on Asian European native American etc talking about slavery. You sound like one of those people who say Africans were doing it as well whenever slavery is mentioned.

watching this for school yet I was still able to enjoy it cool

Loved it!! It helped a lot!!!!!!

In the grand scale of things, it makes sense that every race has a few thousand years of dominance. Black people reigned supreme with ancient African civilizations such as Egypt and Mali and brought some of the earliest forms of mathematics, alchemy and astronomy to the world. There were thousands of years where Chinese civilizations exceeded the standards of other nations around the world. Arabs nations such as the Ottoman empire and Persian empire also had their legacy, and now Europeans are having their few thousand years of dominance until it is time for the next group of people to have a ruling grasp. It is all a cycle or power, try not to get caught up in race wars of the current day, i'm sure of you look into history, your people had their day in the sun

"Look at the gold all in my chests, look at the gold, call it a flex." -Mansa Musa

Thats why history is so important to remeber,

which amazes me is that having so much wealth with him mansa musa was still humble and obedient to God almighty . I think I learned something from him. 😌

Bill gates : I am the richest guy. Mansa Musa : hold my golds and come shopping with me 😂

i mean J.D rockefeller would have been a more reasonable candidate. JD had about 370 billion dollars Bill has about 80 or so. Mansa had trillions. JD hardly comes close, bill is like a peasant.

More like Jeff Bezos who surpassed Bill Gates. Both of them are standing at 100 billion but jeff bezos is 40 billion away from 200 billion. Keep that in mind.

He didn't "possibly" destabilise entire economies, he DEFINITELY destabilised entire economies

He’s just in creative mode. Or has a repeating command block that gives him infinite gold blocks.

I'm gonna teach you Americans because I see many dumbs comments : - Yes Mansa Musa had slaves but he was not a slave trader. He was rich because he had gold under his feet. - However some Malians may have sold slaves to the Arabs/Berber of North Africa. - Mali Empire was not destroyed by the Europeans, the Songhais (another Black African ethnic groups who were part of Mali Empire took control of Mali Empire at the end of 15th century). Then the Songhai Empire went to war with the Saadi Dynasty (Arabs/Berbers) of North Africa and they lost it in 1591 -> End of the Songhai Empire. The Saadis didnt stay long in West Africa but West Africa will never be unified in this way after that. So it was the return of smal kingdoms (Bambara, Mossi, Fulani, Wolof, Soninke, Hausa, etc...) - So when the Europeans (French) came to the lands of Mali in the 19th century, they attacked many kingdoms but it was not Mali Empire (Toucouleur Empire, Fulani states, Wassoulou Empire etc...)
